Know your Laws!!

one of the biggest things i try to do is know waht i can and cant do legaly. that way WHEN i break a law, because we all do big or small(i try to stick to the SMALL ones,) i know the lop holes and all that. i also know how to get things dropped, and how to get things lowered.

me knowing the AZ laws even though i am new to the state helped a few of my co-workers.
